Pennsylvania unclaimed property: what to know
Updated
Coming soon. We currently file claims in California only. We are not offering Pennsylvania claims yet.
Pennsylvania's unclaimed property program is run by the state; its search is at patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property. If you use a finder (a paid recovery service), these rules apply.
Finder rules in Pennsylvania
- Finder fees are capped at 15%.
- Finders need a registration certificate from Treasury.
- Agreements must be signed and acknowledged.
How this compares with California
In California an investigator may charge up to 10%, only after the Controller pays, and may sign an agreement as soon as the Controller holds the property. The Controller pays the investigator's share directly.
